England player ratings vs New Zealand: Owen Farrell and Sam Underhill shines

10 Owen Farrell (co-captain): Looked more like an world player of the year nominee than his opposite number. A great captains peformance. 8.5/10
9 Ben Youngs: Got the performance from the forwards he needed. Needling Aaron Smith into errors did England no harm either. Vast improvement. 7.5/10
1 Ben Moon: Very good performance. England’s fourth-choice loosehead didn’t look out of his depth against the world champions. 7.5/10
2 Dylan Hartley (co-captain): Thousand times better than last week, good at lineout and put New Zealand under pressure picking up and driving. Replaced at half-time by Jamie George, which seemed strange as he was brilliant while George was very poor. 8/10
3 Kyle Sinckler: Who needs the back row at the breakdown when the front row can show them how to do it. Excellent steal in first half and good clearing out work. 8/10
